Workshop: Creating a Value Proposition Canvas

March 28 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

A value proposition canvas helps groups design products and services that are grounded in user needs. Led by agile trainer and facilitator, Matt Thompson, this hands-on workshop will help groups gain a stronger understanding of who their users, constituents or customers are, and how they can best serve them. By the end of this workshop, you will:

– Understand the value proposition canvas framework and how it applies for your work
– Have a draft canvas and tips for further refinement

This workshop is ideal for civic tech project leaders and teams and early-stage civic tech startups looking for hands-on learning. While registration is open, we will give preference to participants who 1) register as a team (two or more people preferred), are 2) currently working on a project or product that 3) addresses a local challenge.

Workshop cost: $25 per participant, but we have a limited number of free spots if cost is a barrier.
